hi
i migrated an vm from vcenter(another server) to my proxmox server vm successfully detected os but when on load windows server return this message
the drive where windows is installed is locked proxmox

i think i most install virtowin driver , but i cant login into os , and also i trid use windows server iso repair
 
How did you configure the drive? (Please show the VM config).

If you set it to `virtio` or `scsi` with the `virtio-scsi` controller, you first have to install the driver so windows can detect the drive, see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Additi...rt_Windows_to_use_.28VirtIO.29_SCSI_.28KVM.29

Does it boot if you detach the drive, and then configure it again using `ide` or `sata`? (don't forget to change the boot order in the Options panel of the VM).
 
i cant install virto driver before windows setup because i used ovfimport tools for import new VM
